Sorry for not being clear.  My data is that I have volumes published
mostly by University Presses.  Except in a few cases (Oxford, for
example, which publishes in New York and Oxford), most of these have a
single address.  I do realize this needs a human mind to do, but it
would be very nice to be able to step through entries, say, which had
a Princeton University Press publisher and ask if to fill in the
address.    But perhaps that is too specific to a problem I have
caused myself!  I think Applescript is the answer here!

A more general question, perhaps, is could Bibdesk have something like
the iTunes interface, where if you select a group of entries you could
edit the fields of one and have the change reflected in all of them?

Best wishes,
